Just watched this. Great info. It would be cool to try and do a whole flaming pump paint job. It would be a lot of work.

Pretty cool! It definitely takes a lot of steps to duplicate what mother nature does in years to paint and metal.

Yes it does!!! It’s amazing what we do to try an recreate aged looking paint. Matt Alverez had some incredible tricks that he uses.
